T-Mobile voice outage?

Details are scarce, but we’ve been receiving a flood of tips about T-Mobile’s voice service. It’s ranged from a “global outage” to local tower issues, so we’re asking you guys, if you’re on T-Mobile, are you having an issue? One of our T-Mobile phones is going from full 3G to SOS back and forth, so maybe this isn’t just fairy dust and pink ponies.

In Salt Lake, everyone I know on T-Mo (which is most people I know, they have better coverage than anyone but Verizon around here) had huge issues. You could call out to anyone but another T-Mo customer, but you couldn’t call to T-Mo, whether you were on T-Mo or not. Texting was out for about half of the day as well.

In Las Vegas, NV. I have full signal but can’t receive calls nor it goes to voicemail, I receive texts WAY later or right away. Weird though, my parents and my brother, all have it working perfectly. Only my line doesn’t work. WEIRD!

UMA should still be connecting. i have the 8900 and my device was one of the first to get out of the service disruption because of the UMA. but everyone should be almost completely back up and running.

I was connected through UMA from Beijing, but now nothing! Can’t roam on China Mobile or China Unicom either. My wife tried to call me from NYC, but she only got a busy signal. I can, however, access BIS through wifi. Thank goodness for little things! No voice for now, however. My link to home is definitely down!

my girlfriends AT&T phone couldn’t make calls for 20min in brooklyn NY. Then she called AT&T and they told her they are having an outage in northern new jersey and NYC. So AT&T must be having some
Problems too, they gave her a $5 credit and told her it should be fine in 4hrs.

I’ve been hearing rumors of some pretty serious stuff going on behind the scenes… I would hang out for a while to see what happens, don’t cancell just yet… You may be very pleasantly surprised to see what’s about to happen with t-mobile!

I’m located in Santa Ana CA and lost signal completely on my CLIQ for
about an hour and fourty five minutes today. For about another hour
after my handset was able to lock back onto a signal, it was still
very spotty with the data signal intermittently switching back and
forth 3G, EDGE, and even GPRS for about two minutes. We went to the
local T-Mobile store thinking we’d be the first people to complain
and were surprised to see a mob of very unhappy people in front of
us. It was a mix of the business Crackberry crowd and MyTouch 3G
users, so pretty much people with phones that require a constant data
signal. I hope this doesn’t become a regular occurrence, I’ve never
had any problems with T-Mobile’s network and am long-time supporter
but as I increasingly rely on my service for work, outages like this
will be a lot more detrimental for me.

So T-Mobile…how about we roll out that rumored HSPA+ network
post-haste? ;]

Mine was out for several hours. It kept giving me a SIM card error and wouldn’t register on TMO’s network.

I just came back online too. Cell service works great. More bars then I have ever had in my apt…Still not able to send text messages. UMA works again too.

I am in Manhattan, NY.

@ FRANKENBERRY

Good luck on the 9700. RIM did not get them to T-Mobile in time for the LA event. I am still on my 8900 :-(

They are hoping for next week, but they did throw in a cool bluetooth remote stereo gateway!

why do i get the feeling that this is T-Mobile’s Project Dark “rapid expansion of 3G” phase? If it is, I couldn’t have come up with better marketing name of Project Dark.

Take the network down for upgrades during “night” time and bam! when it comes up, T-Mobile’s coverage is just ridiculous and they announce a bunch of their high-end phones.

I just came back online at around 12:30am EST. Cell service works great. More bars then I have ever had in my apt…Still not able to send text messages. UMA works again too.

I had no data of any kind, could not send texts, and ppl said they had been trying to call me for like 3 hrs. And when i tried to call people i got an automated voice saying all lines where busy or something.
